Abstract
Systems and methods for ranking search results based on members' posting activity and content are disclosed. The social networking system receives a search request for at least one member profile and retrieves member profiles in response to the search request. For a member profile in the member profiles, the social networking system identifies at least one submitted content item associated with the member profile and analyzes the at least one submitted content item to determine topics associated with the at least one submitted content item. The social networking system generates a topic similarity score for the member profile based on a comparison of the topics and a topic of interest associated with the search request. The social networking system ranks the member profiles based on generated topic similarity scores. The social networking system selects at least one member profile based on the member profile ranking.
